In the secondary research process, various sources were referred to identify and collect information for the study. The secondary sources included annual reports, press releases, investor presentations from companies, white papers, journals, certified publications, and articles from recognized authors, as well as directories and databases. The data was also collected from other secondary sources, such as conferences and related magazines. Additionally, the Document AI spending of various countries was extracted from respective sources. Secondary research was used to obtain key information about the industry’s supply chain to identify key players by solution, service, market classification, and segmentation according to the offerings of major players and industry trends related to solutions, services, document types, use cases, verticals, and regions, and key developments from both market and technology-oriented perspectives.

Primary Research

In the primary research process, various primary sources from both the supply and demand sides were interviewed to obtain qualitative and quantitative information on the market. The primary sources from the supply side included various industry experts, including Chief Experience Officers (CXOs); Vice Presidents (VPs); directors from business development, marketing, and Document AI expertise, related key executives from Document AI offering vendors, SIs, managed service providers, and industry associations, and key opinion leaders.

Market Size Estimation

Multiple approaches were adopted to estimate and forecast the Document AI market. The first approach involves estimating the market size by summing the companies’ revenue generated by selling offerings.

Market Size Estimation Methodology- Top-down approach

In the top-down approach, an exhaustive list of all the vendors offering solutions in the Document AI market was prepared. The revenue contribution of the market vendors was estimated through annual reports, press releases, funding, investor presentations, paid databases, and primary interviews. Each vendor's offerings were evaluated based on the breadth of solutions, including offering types, document types, use cases, and verticals. The aggregate of all the companies' revenues was extrapolated to determine the overall market size. Each subsegment was studied and analyzed for its global market size and regional penetration. The markets were triangulated through both primary and secondary research. The primary procedure involved extensive interviews with key industry leaders, including CIOs, CEOs, VPs, directors, and marketing executives, to gather valuable insights. The market numbers were further triangulated with the existing MarketsandMarkets repository for validation.

Market Size Estimation Methodology-Bottom-up approach

In the bottom-up approach, the adoption rate of Document AI solutions among different verticals in key countries, with respect to their regions contributing the most to the market share, was identified. For cross-validation, the adoption of Document AI solutions across various industries, along with different use cases by region, was identified and extrapolated. Use cases identified in different regions were given weightage for the market size calculation.

Based on the market numbers, the regional split was determined by primary and secondary sources. The procedure involved analyzing the regional market penetration. Based on secondary research, the regional spending on information and communications technology (ICT), socio-economic analysis of each country, strategic vendor analysis of major Document AI providers, and organic and inorganic business development activities of regional and global players were estimated. With the data triangulation procedure and data validation through primary interviews, the exact values of the overall Document AI market size and the size of its segments were determined and confirmed using the study.

Data Triangulation

The market was segmented into several segments and subsegments after determining the overall market size using the market size estimation processes outlined above. To complete the overall market engineering process and determine the exact statistics for each market segment and subsegment, data triangulation and market segmentation procedures were employed, wherever applicable. The overall market size was then used in the top-down approach to estimate the size of other individual markets by applying percentage splits to the market segmentation.
